A Canadian for Ron Paul

[bp2519]

Hey Guys,

I'd like to donate to the campaign on November 5th but because I'm Canadian I won't be able to donate officially. Are there other (legal) means through which I can send my $100? Canadians are fed a lot of the same propaganda the Americans are, albeit not as strong, and I feel this movement has the potential of affecting both the US and Canada.

Oh how I wish there were! I think we would have an astounding number of donations across the globe if it were legal.

I think it sets a bad precedent to even consider it. We could use the money but I think its against our principles.

I have to say I don't see anything wrong with giving to one of the chipins.

Edit: Though in a way that is donating for campaign supplies. So I guess I don't know either.

It may be illegal.

Here is what FooFighter posted in that thread:





Not indirectly? Are you sure?

Yes. I'm sure.

(1) a foreign national, directly or indirectly, to make—
(A) a contribution or donation of money or other thing of value, or to make an express or implied promise to make a contribution or donation, in connection with a Federal, State, or local election;
(B) a contribution or donation to a committee of a political party; or
(C) an expenditure, independent expenditure, or disbursement for an electioneering communication (within the meaning of section 434 (f)(3) of this title); or(2) a person to solicit, accept, or receive a contribution or donation described in subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (1) from a foreign national.Electioneering communication is a radio or TV ad.

Not only is it illegal, it WILL reflect poorly on the campaign when it gets discovered. Look at all the negative media Hillary got with that one dude.
